In an exciting Monday night showdown, the Denver Broncos emerged victorious over the Cleveland Browns with a final score of 41-32. The game was highlighted by a standout performance from Cleveland quarterback Jameis Winston, who set a franchise record with 497 passing yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy also shined, racking up 235 yards and a touchdown against his former team, the Broncos, who he was traded from in the offseason.
Despite Winston’s impressive night, which also included three interceptions, the Browns were unable to secure a win. Two of his interceptions were returned for touchdowns, with one coming from Denver’s Nik Bonitto and the game-sealing pick-six by Ja’Quan McMillian.
With the win, the Broncos improve to 8-5 and hold the seventh playoff spot in the AFC. This victory marks an important step for Denver as they aim to make the postseason for the first time since their Super Bowl win in 2015.
Winston’s standout performance set a new Browns record for passing yards in a game, surpassing the previous mark set by Josh McCown in 2015. Despite his efforts, the Browns fall to 3-9 on the season, with Winston holding a 2-3 record as a starter since taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson.
The game was a thrilling display of talent and determination from both teams, and it will be remembered as a significant moment in the Broncos’ push for playoff contention.
